Summary
  • Now, with this updated and expanded guide, professional designers can meet the pertinent accessibility guidelines mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for new and existing lodging and eating facilities. Containing over 165 illustrations, this book provides time-saving architectural solutions to common design problems faced when meeting federal accessibility guidelines for hotel, motel, resort, and restaurant facilities.
  • Included in this comprehensive publication are methods for cost/benefit analyses of design options as well as convenient checklists and survey forms that will help architects, interior designers and allied design professionals assess existing and potential barriers and evaluate new projects. More importantly, you will find how accessible design can lead to increased sales, greater customer satisfaction, and prudent long-range facility planning.
  • Whether you're an architect, interior designer, or faculty manager you will find the barrier-free expertise you need - from the lobby to the guestrooms, from furnishings to lamps and lighting, from restaurants to restrooms - all in one convenient and comprehensive guide.
